dc.description.abstractOphthalmomyiasis is the infestation of the eye with fly larva. It is commonly found in unhygienic areas and poor socioeconomic conditions. Internal Ophthalmomyiasis can be vision threatening leading to blindness, therefore early diagnosis and prompt treatment is required. We present a case of a 21year old male patient who presented with pain, redness and foreign body of left eye. Larva was observed on slit lamp examination. On ex-tracting them and examining, it was found to be Oestrus Ovis. The patient was treated with lubricating drops, mild topical steroid, topical antibiotics and topical betadine drops. The patient responded well to the treatment.en_US
